Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That’s a sexy song made by two men living in a house alone together for four or five months in Scottsdale. There needed to be some sexiness somewhere.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That song was another one that I brought to Arizona with me. And right away it sounded like ‘95 Pumpkins, like it could have been right off of the Mellon Collie record. I feel sorry for Jimmy because he has to hear me complain about such things. And we went back to what Flood taught us and tried the song some other ways. One day we just changed the beat, and it just made the song.” Billy Corgan

They say that life ain’t easy
They’ll say your life’s a crime
Destroy up all good reason
How I’m alive
They’ll say that nothing matters
Not even your will to survive
Of course I love you baby
‘Cause I’m alive
Yes, I’m alive
Whenever I call you out
Whenever I draw you round
Whenever is here and now
That’s the way my love is
That’s the way I care
You should call on me baby
I’m always there for you
Yeah, I’m always there for you
They’ll say you’ll lose your nerve soon
To claim identity
Disgrace our sacred promise
With no belief
Oh, how I believe in you
That’s the way my love is, for you
That’s the way my love is, for you!
I feel a coming age now
I feel a dawn in me
A certain sun keeps rising
On my belief in you
That’s the way my love is
That’s the way i care
You should call on me baby
‘Cause I’m always there for you
That’s the way my love is
That’s the way I care
You should call on me baby
‘Cause I’m always there for you
Yeah, I’m always there for you

As far as you take me, that’s where I believe
The realm of soft delusions, floating on the leaves
On a distant shoreline, she waves her arms to me
As all the thought police, are closing in for sleep
The dilly dally, of my bright lit stay
The steam of my misfortunes
Has given me the power to be afraid
And in my mind I’m everyone
And in my mind
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It’s what you take that makes it right
Porcelina of the oceans blue
In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts
The light of all that’s good, the light of all that’s true
To the fringes gladly, I walk unadorned
With gods and their creations
With filth and disease
Porcelina, she waits for me there
With seashell hissing lullabyes
And whispers fathomed deep inside my own
Hidden thoughts and alibis
My secret thoughts come alive
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It’s what you take that makes it right
And in my mind I’m everyone
In my mind I’m everyone of you
You make it right
It’s all allright
You make it right
Porcelina of the oceans blue
- 5 . Behold! The Night Mare
Lyrics
I’ve faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
Appease you
The wind blows, and I know
I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
To linger on beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
You’ll find me
The coarse tide reflects the sky
And the night mare rides on
And the night mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the night mare rides on
What I fear is lost here
The wind blows and I know
All you have to do is run away
And steal yourself from me
Become mystery to gaze into
You’re so cruel in all you do
But still I believe, I believe
You
So may you come with your own knives
You’ll never take me alive
With all the force of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?
I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
To linger on beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep and the whirlpools sleep
You’ll find me
And the night mare rides on
And the night mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the night mare rides on
I’ve face the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can’t keep - 6 . Bring The Light

Additional Info:
From Zeitgeist track by track interview:
“This was one of the songs we had earmarked for Roy Thomas Baker to produce. As we later told Roy, we had heard all these stories about him being completely insane which turned out not to be true. He’s one of the most hard-working, aware and brilliant people we’ve ever worked with and we couldn’t wait to hear what he did with that song.” Billy Corgan
“For me that track is all about Roy–the way he produced, that drum sound. Roy doesn’t produce songs; he produces moments. We were constantly trying our best to put a smile on Roy’s face.” Jimmy Chamberlin

Shot down I stood
Withstood my neighborhood
I got it wrong
But I could
Follow love lest I learn
It’s light
To bring the light
I fought with all my might, with light
Oh bring the light
Light, bring the light
I never felt so good and right
But tonight you’ll never need another sound
Oh, bring the light
Bring the light to me
Here and gone oh I trust
You’d spit upon my dust
And mix my ash with your blood
A son of god you know you must arrive
In the light
Bring the light, let’s bring the light
Light, oh bring the light
Light, bring the light
It’s yours not mine
If you just want to survive
Go grab a glimpse of any star in heaven’s high
I never felt so real and loved and alive
No shadows follow me unsung
In the light, bring the light to me
A flower song, clear and bright
Is it wrong, in neon white?
To insist you are mine
Standing dumb in the light
Bring the light
Oh, bring the light
Bring the light!
Light, bring the light
I never felt so real and right and alive
Don’t let them steal from you what’s yours by right
Light, bring the light
You know there comes a place and time
You can’t deny
With every movement shadows cast and align

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain
We’re not the same, we’re different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
We’ll try and ease the pain
But somehow we’ll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I’m rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Mother weep the years I’m missing
All our time can’t be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
So bad
When I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I’ll always feel this
No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will - 9 . Try, Try, Try

Pop tart
What’s our mission
Do we know
But never listen
For too long
They held me under
But I hear
It’s almost over
In detroit
On a memphis train
Like you said
It’s down in the heat and the summer rain of
The automatic gauze of your memories
Down in the sleep at the airplane races
Try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit longer
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart’s
A little bit colder
Try to hold on
To this love
Paperback scrawl your hidden poem
Written around the dried out flowers
Here we are still trading places
To try to hold on
Pop tart
Can you envision
A free world
Of clear division
For too long
They held us under
But I know
We’re getting over
In detroit
With the nashville tears
Like you said
It’s down in the heat with the broken numbers
Down in the gaze of solemnity
Down in the way you held together
To try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
Try to hold on
For this heart’s
A little bit older
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
And no one should deny
We try to hold on
To the pulse of a feedback current
Into the flow of the cryptic movement
Slapback kills the ancient remnants
That try to hold on
Try to hold on
To this heart
Alive
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud
Try to hold on
And we are still alive
Try to hold on
And we have survived
Try to hold on
Pop tart
You never listen
Skinned knees
Try to hold on
Stop start
What’s our mission
Skinned knees
Try to hold on

Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That was one of the original riffs that I brought from Chicago when we went to Scottsdale. The problem with a song like that is you’ve got this great riff and then that’s all you’ve got. The riff comes in two minutes. Then you take weeks out of your life being a slave to that riff. We really have a love-hate relationship with the riff songs.” Billy Corgan “The real problem is after that great riff, you need another great riff.” Jimmy Chamberlin

C’mon let’s go
I’ll find you waiting there
Beyond their violence dared
A light around your soul
You could be my friend
Lovely and different
Crushing up the stars above us
A guarantee to spoil our rot
Tears were once my only way back home
Someone speaks and instantly I’m cold
C’mon let’s go
C’mon let’s go
Beyond the great unknown
Beyond their punched-up skulls
To die upon this road
C’mon let’s go
C’mon let’s go
Anesthetized I’m hollow
Playing to the dark back row
C’mon let’s go
Go
C’mon let’s go
Assimilate, it’s all been staged
I’ve made mistakes, they penetrate
They’re gonna take, it’s all the same
They cannot wait, their love spells hate
I wanna love
I wanna love
I’m pushing back
I’m serpentine
I’m pushing back
Lord save me
With need
Lord walk me home
C’mon let’s go
C’mon, c’mon let’s go
Tears were once my only way back home
Someone weeps and instantly I’m thrown
C’mon let’s go
C’mon let’s go
Go

Lyrics
Is it wrong to say
I’m lost in your embrace
Is it wrong to say so?
Within a dream I had, some vista vast
Meant for the poor of soul
Struck from the firstborn
Leapt from a ray of hope
Into a body I once knew
Built a mere kingdom of self abuse
Hitched to some rainbow
Once more, it’s always yours
Once more
The wait hurts worse than the blows
Words buy
New life
Dust clears
No scars
Burnt but
Bright eyed
The sun’s out
A still night stirs
The wait hurts worse than the blows
Is it wrong to say
There’s god and there’s faith
Is it wrong to say so?
Withstood a thought so sad, I had to laugh
Cut from some polished bone
Crawled out of broken homes
Slipped on the afterglow
Into a worry and a curse
Stole from the bible chapter and verse
Stitched to an old sail
Once more, it’s always yours
Once more
The wait hurts worse than the blows
- 13 . Perfect
Lyrics
I know
We’re just like old friends
We just can’t pretend
That lovers make amends
We are
Reasons so unreal
We can’t help but feel
That something has been lost
But please
You know you’re just like me
Next time
I promise we’ll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was
Angel
You know it’s not the end
We’ll always be good friends
But the letters have been sent on
So please
You always were so free
You’ll see
I promise we’ll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep
Perfect
You know this has to be
We always were so free
We promised that we’d be
Perfect

Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I’m silly
Cause I’m hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she…….?
Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won’t she want him
No one knows for sure
But an officer is knocking at my door
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she could only see me?
And when I’m with her I feel fine
If I could kiss her I wouldn’t mind the time it took to find
My lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Oh lily, I know you love me
Cause as they’re draggin’ me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye) - 15 . The Rose March

Lyrics
Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow’s much too long
I’ll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Can’t wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I’ll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day

I don’t want to fight
Every single night
Everything I want is in your eyes
You and me go back
To places I dont know to care
The spoils of all I got were left for scraps
Don’t let me say this
But you’re no worse than me
It’s crazy
We are the real
If real ever was
And just because
We are the real
They feel we have enough
We are the real
‘Cause someone gave us up
I want to be there when you’re happy
I want to love you when you’re sad
Cant stand the morning rain?
Get out i’ll take your place then
Can’t stand the blazing sun?
Then close your eyes you’ll see
The angel dust
I dont want to be
Anything believed
A million watts of sound can’t compare
Come along you’ll see the world
The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls
The current starts to flow and then you’re on
Oh it’s white hot soul they want
To sing for
We are the real
If real ever was
And just because
We are the ruin
Of every living soul
We are surreal
Cause someone gave us up
Don’t break the oath
I want to love you when you’re happy
Don’t break this oath
I want to be there when youre sad
Freeze-frame the pouring rain
We are the real
As real as any ghost
So easy now
We are the real
In ever living soul
Oh dont they know?
Can’t stand the blazing sun?
Can’t stand the morning rain?
Oh get out i’ll take your place again
I dont want to be alone
I dont want to be alone at all

Then a black heart they’ll get

Lyrics
You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It’s destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Inseparable
And for the last time
You’re everything that I want and asked for
You’re all that I dream
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul
And beautiful
You
Don’t understand
Don’t feel me now
I will breath
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn in my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn’t be the one you love
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love
For the first time
I’m telling how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound in my time
I’ll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart
And your mind
You’re mine forever now
Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn’t be the one you love

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire
Right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
And I don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They’re not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin’ dues
Down to see
That we don’t even care
As restless as we are
We feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
Lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we’d go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don’t even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now (written: sound)

What makes the world go round
Nothing but love

I hurry to my blue heaven

Will lead you to my blue heaven

A fireplace, a cozy room

That’s nestled where the roses bloom

You know I’m not dead
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
Now you know where I’ve been
As you sleep, torn I am
Weighted down patiently
Born of love
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all, into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
Found below, the creatures scream
Stranglehold, a god machine
Begin to tear us out
What is hell
You know I’m, you know I’m not dead
I’m just the tears inside your head
Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all, into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog
The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting
Forever waiting a cruel death
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living for myself
Forever waiting
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead
You know I’m not dead

Everyone’s gonna drive a fast car
Everyone’s gonna be in charge
‘Cause everybody’s everything is nobody’s nothing
Everyone’s gonna get a big gun
Everyone’s gonna shoot someone
Everyone’s gonna ruin our fun
‘Cause everybody’s business is everybody’s business
You’ve gotta understand
You’ve gotta understand
It’s just a fact that you must attack
You gotta get it while you can
Well, everybody’s business is everybody’s business
Everybody’s business is everybody’s business
Everybody’s business is everybody’s business
Everybody’s business is everybody’s business - 26 . Easy Livin’ Jam

My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter ’til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream - 28 . Wound
Lyrics
There you are
As you always were
In bathing light
And naked blur
You’re a part of me
Eternal wone
My grand design
And setting sun
If you wait, I will wait
Taste, I will taste
If you love, I will love
Run, I will run
To my last breath
Last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning
Inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning
Awake in my arms
You cry unharmed
Our age of the hours
When they still devour all
So take it all
I doubt if we
Will know it’s gone
Cause we’ve been here
Since time began
Begged god awake
And make these plans
Wound opens
Reveal this broken man
And soon there’s notions
Of blood on his hands
If you wait, I will wait
Taste, I will taste
If you love, I will love
Run, I will run
To my last breath
Last night I turned around, I thought I saw myself turning
Last night I turned around and thought I watched the world ending
Inside the crushing I felt a pang, the tide was turning
Destroyed in the wake
The jealous ingrates
Will tear this world down
To spite god above
With his own love
With his own love
If you wait
If you wait
If you wait, I will wait
Taste, I will taste
If you love, I will love
Run, I will run
To my last breath

Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “It started off as this weird little shuffle thing. We were arguing back and forth in November of ‘05 whether we should have a shuffle on the record. Billy wanted a shuffle. So it became a search for a new way to do a shuffle. We were also listening to Fela, all these 14-minute Nigerian jams and watching documentaries about him. So we went down this road of seeing how power can come from repetition.” Jimmy Chamberlin “In Pumpkins logic, if you’re going to make people wait for six minutes for the payoff, the money shot better be good. Ultimately, this became the musical statement of the album. The drum take is one of Jimmy’s crowning achievements. It’s worth the price of admission. Lyrically, the song reflects the decision I made when we were in Scottsdale to stop watching all network or cable news. I noticed the effect that had on me–I stopped being afraid. In general, I’m not afraid of getting on the stage in front of 60,000 people, so why should I be afraid of a plane crashing into my house? I was trying to wrap my head around the way we’re being force-fed a level of paranoia. It’s a personal reflection on what it all means. The ‘revolution’ in the lyrics isn’t the revolution of picking up a gun. That’s never worked, and it never will work. Jesus was right.” Billy Corgan

Tired eyes
Closed for days
There’s no regret
‘Cause there’s no place
I don’t know
What I believe
But if I feel safe
What do I need
A home
A home
A home
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
Dulcet tongues
Whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now’s the past
Rouse me soon
The end draws nigh
Who’s side are you on?
Your blood you cannot buy
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to you
Well I
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why
Why deny it
It’s no surprise
I’ve got to survive
Freedom shines the light ahead
I’ll lead the last charge to bed
I said my last rights
I don’t have to run scared no more
Fight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
At the light
At the light
Do you wanna watch me die
Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood
